when i was 13 . . . *sits and tries to remember*
oh, yea! i don't think i was in any grade (not ABRSM anyway) b/c i didn't do all the grades step-by-step. yea, exams cost money, too, so i think i skipped out that year

I started playing the flute when I was 13, so grade 0. Or shortly before my 14th birthday, I was about grade 1 or 2.

I took my grade 5 just as I turned 12, so I suppose grade 6-7, although I refused to take exams between grade 5 and 8.

I think 13 is the age I was when I got a narrow pass at Grade 3 with the local County exam system...!

I think I was 13 when I had my last flute exam - a rather miserable Grade 4 pass of 102

.
Flute teacher suffered a nervous breakdown not long after that, and my brief and disastrous relationship with that instrument ended
I'll never forget the examiner's comment on my sight reading - "it might have helped if she had noticed the time signature, the key signature or any of the rhythms"

What about "No Grade at all" at 13.
I could possibly have got Grade 8 "Playing the Beatles" (that is gramophone records) if there'd been one, as that was the extent of my musical knowledge at that time.

I can't actually remember even though it was only 3 years ago.
Lets think......I did grade 6 and 7 when I was 15, so I think at 13 it would have either been grade 4 (which I failed with 98 but moved on anyway

) or grade 5.
Most likely grade 4 I think.

I'm 13 and working towards grade 6 violin next term and grade 7 piano the term after (well actually the summer term exams are usually around my birthday so I MIGHT be 14 but it depends when they come)
